Details

The Porter-Cable C2002 0.8 HP 6 Gallon Oil-Free Pancake Air Compressor is a light and portable method to always have working air to finish your projects uninterrupted. This 6-gallon compressor utilizes a low-amp motor, ensuring it can start easily in a cold environment or with an extension cord. Its console cover protects the interior components, while the handle makes it easy for you to take to various worksites.

I bought this little compressor after doing a lot of research. I use it for simply pumping up tires on my 2 cars and nailing crown molding.The first compressor arrived and wouldn't hold air - it was pumping up the tank but "leaking" continuously from under piston area. [...].Now, 4 months later, my second compressor is doing the same thing - pumping up the tank to 120 psi, but the motor is leaking air - as though a seal is broken.[...] Spend the extra money and upgrade to a better model. I'm very disappointed.

I am using this compressor to run two nail guns nailing up log siding. Use isn't continuous but there have been no problems keeping up with both guns going at once. I am at the age that I pay more attention to how much things weigh that I have to move and this compressor is easy to carry but still delivers maximum performance for it's size. I also saved a ton by buying reconditioned.

Presently I own a bigger unit for heavy duty use in the house and outside work. The reason for this purchase was portability. It's very easy to carry up and down stairs, inside or outside the house for light repairs, both automotive and household. I bought the refurbished unit and it came in great condition and the operation was flawless. This unit would be very useful for most homeowners for a majority of work. This unit will see more action than my big compressor. Having said that, you have to consider the work you do, and the importance of ample air supply for the workload. I would not hesitate in recommending this unit to my family and friends and I would definitely buy this unit again.

This Compressor is Super Nice!! and very very Quiet for Oil-Less! BEST PART IT WORKS WHEN ITS COLD!!! MADE FOR USAGE UP NORTH!!! Unlike the junk Oiled Compressors that don't run when its cold out. I would like to see how your Oiled compressor works here in PA in our winter months when its a warm -5 degrees out! I don't think so! For the People that think its loud I challenge you to find another Oil-Less or OILED compressor that is quieter. I guarantee you theres none quieter! Guaranteed! I've Used see and ran every compressor from a 50.00 [@] to a $25,000 Dollar Rotary Screw machine. For [$] this is a steal! Yes there is much better and more expensive compressors to run air tools but for Air Nailers, Tires and Blowing dust out of Shop Vac Filters and cleaning off and out table saws and chop saws and blowing dust off anything else it works amazing! Get this Compressor you will love it. Take my advice, from a very experienced Air Compressor operator that runs Air Compressors 8hrs per day every day!

This was my fourth compressor. I have a PC Pancake compressor at every job site, for framing, flooring, siding, and finish nailers. This will handle up to two framers or roofing nailers for normal work, It can only handle one gun at a time when doing subfloor. A very reliable tool.

This is an ideal compressor for home improvement and inflating tires. Not too big to carry around and not too small for extended use. Works great with nail guns. Tank volume and pressure limit is sufficient to charge air compressor, unplug, and top off the tire pressure on two or more cars before plugging in to recharge. Relatively long duty cycle while using nail guns.

I have had this compressor for 8 years. My contractor buddies laugh at it but often their Senco 1.5hp compressors blow breakers or have starting problems. It's not the greatest for framing(runs contstantly) but I have framed plenty with it. Light enough and small enough for trim work. Super dependable, never had a single problem and I don't take great care of it. If you don't frame for a living and you don't want to carry around 2 compressors this is a great choice.

Have had this since -- can't remember exactly, but probably 10 to 15 years or more. Does exactly what it's supposed to do, the way it's supposed to. Yes it's heavy, and yes it's loud--but that's what ear muffs are for, and I have mine on a home-built rolling stand so never have to lift it. I also have an aluminum air tank that weighs surprisingly little which I use outside the workshop (wouldn't be without this nice portable tank now). In all these years it's always been plugged in and ready to go. On occasion I bleed the air but in my case there is very little water--and then only in the summer, and no rust present. Obviously a larger unit (capacity and pressure) would sometimes be nice, but for my normal use (nailer, air pump and blower, power tools) it's great. There are some that look pretty much like this one and cost less, but why take a chance when you can get Porter Cable quality.

I had been looking for a air compressor for my RV that would meet the following: reasonable CFM, good recovery, lightweight, compact and can blow up a tire to 80 lbs fast...this one meets all plus it looked new. I now can top off all my tires in a matter of minutes...also it holds 150 psi for weeks. for those interested in tire care and saving fuel and don't want to spend a lot of time this is the unit...I have tried most all of the other "small" units and they don't come close to doing the job..minor problem with front disconnect as it leaks when stressed to the side..hopefully I can fix it...thus only 4 stars... stores easily in a small area in RV..don't waste your money and time for a "boy" when this "man" does it better [...]

I've been looking for a pancake air compressor for awhile but didn't want to pay a hefty price for something I didn't plan on using all the time as I have a larger one in the garage. This came highly rated and I took a chance on a refurbished one. As with anything sometimes you get a great one and sometimes not but at almost half the price I was willing to take the chance. This one has met all my expectations. I have been using it mainly with a nail gun but I most likely will be using it more often as it is easy to move and use. Great power and air capacity. Quiet and fills quickly which is really nice to use inside. So far no regrets.

I got tired of having to lug and lift my old wheeled compressor. I wanted one that was easy to carry and didn't take much room to store at the house. This makes the compressor more useful, as it is easier to pull out not only for construction but also to put air in tires and to blow dust, etc off projects. Also, this compressor is not as loud as my old compressor. I have friends who have this compressor and use it regularly on construction projects and are very pleased with it. [...] The refurbished unit I received looked new, and came with break-in instructions like with a new one.

I was a contractor, now retired. bought this compressor for home use. this runs frameing as well as trim nailers, this runs trim nailers without haveing to slow up, with frameing after a dozen nails I have to slow up for the compressor to build air up. (no problem with that).Overall this is worth the price and works well enough for professional use of single tool at a time

i use this compressor for nail and staple guns,also to spray paint, sanders,air tires,etc. it is great because of the light weight, it is not to heavy to use on the roof or in tight places. i can move it near my work and not need a lot of air hose. i have found nothing negative i can say about it. i bought 2 and let a friend have one, great buy for the money.

I bought this compressor packaged with the finish nailers. It came with no damage to the compressor or to the nailers. All looked good as brand new. There were no scratches or marring. I ran it for the recommended 15 minutes with the valve open and then closed it and did a trial run. It was leaking a little air, but a quick tightening of the fittings and it ran like a champ. I have now been using it almost every day for the last three months and I have been very pleased with this buy.

The first one arrived with a partially melted feed hose. Was not getting air into the tank. Called CPO, sorry, please send it back at their expense. Got a credit, no problem. Ordered another one. Arrived perfect. Presto, got to work with all my air tools that were arriving while awaiting the new one. Loving it.

I needed a small compressor for a couple of home renovation projects, the PC pancake unit fit my needs perfectly.If you use an air nailer on small jobs, this the one to buy.Great value for a great price

This is great for finish work but still drives my framing nailer on small projects. I have one at home and at my vacation home. Runs tools and pumps tires, blows up beach items, drains hoses and best of all, it is portable.

I bought one full price and new about 10 years ago. I have used it off and on pretty hard. I decided to get a second as I have a workshop 30 miles from my home. One for the workshop and one for the garage. The rebuilt one works just like the old one. It is portable and a real step up from the ones that are slightly smaller. It will run small power tools,inflate big 4X4 Tires and I have painted a complete homebuilt airplane with a HF HVLP paint gun and latex paint. The price was great so I ordered two for a buddy who is a hobbyist.

Very portable Great for pumping up all sizes of tires. Works well for blowing off equipment. Use it with nail and staple guns. Will handle small spray painting jobs. Looks like new and works like new. Very good value.

I use this thing every day. It recovers quickly with 2 roofing nailers pulling off of it. Cant believe this little compressor does as much as it does. Extremely light weight too!! Add one to your collection and become a believer!!

Nice compressor for the do-it-yourself ear. Can keep up. With normal air requirement for shooting 16d framing as well as finish nailing. Nails. Compact and lightweight so it can be easily be taken to the job site.

Nice compressor at a great price (reconditioned). This compressor offers great high pressure performance in a lightweight package. The design is thoughtful with a convenient cord wrap on the right side, and my air hose sits neatly on top of the unit. This compressor will air my high pressure bicycle tires and run my framing nailer or impact wrench. The light weight makes it easy to move from one place to another. The on/off switch is convenient on top, and the drain valve is easy to reach on the lower side of the tank. Everything worked great right out of the box. I bought 2 compressors, one for myself and one for a present.

A great little compressor to run a few nailers in the shop. I replaced a larger louder 30-gallon with this because I just didn't need the volume. This sits on a shelf up away from everything, freeing up valuable floor space in an already crowded shop.

We are using the compressor to install all new trim in my home, and to install new hardwood flooring. It has been a fabulous investment, at a very reasonable price! It really makes a DIY project even more cost-saving.

Arrived in excellent condition- same as new. Works exactly as intended and has thoughtful features such as easy to use regulator and two (2) quick connect ports. The top mounted handle makes for easy transport and the pancake design with rubber mounted legs is very stable. The unit is not quiet when running but show me an oiless compressor that is. Overall I'd rate it 4 1/2 stars out of 5. Excellent value!

You need to run the compressor (15) minutes with the drain valve open to break it in before using it. The drain valve is sensitive. If you open it too far it actually will restrict the flow of air. Check the air coming out of the drain valve with you hand during breakin to determine maximum air flow is occuring. The manual does not tell you what male air fitting will mate with the female air couplers on the compressor. I only used the compressor for filling automotive/truck tires and it performed great. Never used it with air nailers.

Nice compact compressor w/ adequade air to do crown molding and small projects. Not enough capacity to run 2.5" framing nail gun. I knew when I purchased. Noiser than expected. I had to tighten guage and then put rubber tim around gauge to prevent vibration.

I have three residences (Florida, New England, and Canada), and I have 6 compressors! (I know, it all makes no sense!)One compressor is stationary, but the other 5 are reasonably portable, and two of those are actually on wheels. All are higher quality units (all are oil type units) than this little Porter Cable.That said, I find that at 72 years of age I DO NOT like carrying any of those compressors.I have not yet had an opportunity to give this little Porter Cable a real workout, but with the 34# weight, I think it will be an excellent choice for me, for occasional use. My Rol-Air, and Hitachi units are the next lightest, but at 68# each, they have just become too heavy for me to comfortably lug around.
